A Rosie Rabbit Gift

The pretty papers are the inspiration for this card, so I've carried them into the image and embellishments.

Pink and blue are definitely my two favourite colours, and although I've never really thought of them as a Christmas duo, they do seem to work quite well.

I've used a lovely corner die with the snow flourish die peeking out to the side.

Initially I actually thought the image was for a birthday, but then I saw the poinsettia, so I've ensured the festive theme is clear with the Christmas sentiment and snowflake die cuts.  I guess if you wanted to use this image for a birthday, you could colour the flower a different colour, or pop a die cut flower over the top to make the image more versatile.

Christmas Teddies

Hello and welcome to the blog today. Edna here with my card for this week 

and I've chosen this gorgeous group of teddies from Wild Rose Studio to play with!

Stamp - Wild Rose Studio - Christmas Teddies

Papers - Teresa Collins - Christmas Cottage

Dies - Memory Box - Frostyville wreath; Frostyville border

Ribbon - red satin

Pearls - 5mm snow white

Pearl brads - snow white

Gems - clear

Sentiment - Molly Bloom - Happy Christmas

Art Institute crystal glitter

The image is coloured with Promarkers (PM) and Copics (C)

Bears - Putty (C), Pastel beige, satin (PMs)

Mummy bears hat and scarf - Sand, Chamois, Light Walnut (Cs)

Dad's scarf - Burnt Sienna, Walnut, Umber (PMs)

Baby bears hat and scarf - Burgundy, Berry Red, Poppy Red (PMs)

The texture on the teddy bears is achieved by dotting some drops of blending solution onto a piece of cheesecloth (you could use gauze) and dabbing it over the sections you want to look 'furry'. I usually do this after colouring in teddies or dogs etc and before I add the other colours. Allow the blending solution to dry thoroughly before you continue colouring. :)

I hope you enjoy today's card as much as I enjoyed making it.

Present for You

It's Saturday, so it's me, Annette, here today with another card to share on behalf of The Stamp Basket.

Today's card is a bit more masculine, so I've kept the embellishments to a minimum (well, this is a minimum for me).

The Holly dies are accented with some red liquid pearls, dark green copic and white gel pen.

I'm just so in love with these pearl brads, they really seem to finish off the bows perfectly, and look especially good on this dark green satin ribbon.

The papers are really traditional, and make a classic Christmas card.

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Image - Nellie Snellen Present for You
• Card base - Elegant Edge
• Papers - Bo Bunny Father Christmas
• Sentiment - Molly Blooms Happy Christmas
• Holly dies - Marianne design
• Ribbon - 15mm Berisfords Satin in Forest
• Pearls - 5mm, 4mm & 3mm Snow White pearls
• Brad - Hobby House 8mm Pearl Brad
• Glitter - Glamour Dust Crystal
• Liquid Pearls - White Opal

Pop over to The Stamp Basket to see the lovely array of products on offer.
